Dublin, you did not disappoint.

On Thursday evening, The Growth Network officially arrived in and what a way to begin.

From the moment people walked into the room, there was a genuine sense of openness, curiosity and support.

Founders, business owners and professionals from Dublin, Belfast, Newry and Dundalk came together to share ideas, make introductions and build new relationships.

That is what The Growth Network has always been about.

Not collecting business cards.

Not pitching from a stage.

Creating the kind of conversations that help people move forward.

We would like to thank everyone who joined us and a special thank you to ISME Ireland for hosting us and supporting our inaugural Dublin event.

What started in Newry in 2022 continues to grow, connecting good people across the island and creating opportunities through meaningful relationships.

The conversations have started.

The journey continues.

Join us again on Thurs 11th June, 4pm at Krumb Bakery for Buns & Business with guest speakers including Fiona Currie from Fareshare Northern Ireland and Ciaran Ryan from Optik AI.

See you there. 🚀

Another excellent evening at The Growth Network in .

A big thank you to everyone who joined us at Finegan & Son and helped create the kind of atmosphere that makes these events special.

We were delighted to hear from David Crozier CFP Chartered FCSI FPFS of Pathfinders, who shared valuable insights on succession planning, business exits, and preparing for the next chapter long before it’s needed.

We also welcomed Colly Graham, who drew on more than 50 years of sales experience to challenge the room to think differently about performance, mindset, and the human side of selling in an increasingly competitive world.

What stood out most wasn’t just the quality of the speakers.

It was the quality of the conversations.

New connections were made, ideas were exchanged, opportunities were uncovered, and a room full of good people spent time helping one another.

That’s what has always been about.

Good people helping other good people .

Thank you to David, Colly, and everyone who attended.

The journey continues tomorrow evening as we officially launch our seed at the ISME Ireland offices on Kildare Street.

Business is built in rooms.

We design them.

See you there. 🚀

Top morning at our Business Tour & Breakfast: Pancake Studios, Belfast

A big thank you to Christian Gerring for welcoming us and sharing the story behind the business. It’s always inspiring to hear what really goes into building something from the ground up.

The best part?

Good people, good conversations, and a few new opportunities created around the room.

Next stop: Finegan & Son in Newry tomorrow evening at 5.30pm, where we’ll hear from sales expert Colly Graham and business exit specialist David Crozier.

Then on Thursday evening, we’re excited to launch our first Dublin event at the ISME offices on Kildare Street at 6.30pm.

Belfast. Newry. Dublin.

The conversations continue.

Brilliant night in Dundalk at mo chara!

Quality conversations and great craic.

Lovely to catch up with James Mailley from ISME Ireland and meet his guest, Kevin Tooher.

Great also to meet Caolan McQuaid from Narrow Water Media.

Thanks also to Clive Power, GrĂĄinne Kathleen Evans, and Cathal McEvoy for continuing to support our events.

With a few Dubndalk members away, it was a nice intimate meet-up this evening, and the pizza was, as always, oh so good.

The Growth Network returns next Thursday, 28th May, for our Belfast Business Social Networking event.

Let's close out May in style at Winnie's Bar at Room2.

See you there. 🚀

Brilliant afternoon at Buns & Business at Krumb Bakery, Belfast today. â˜•đŸ„

Another great room filled with founders, business owners, consultants, creatives, and good people from across Belfast, Newry, Donegal and beyond.

Big thanks to Jon Michael Dickinson from Proactive Chartered Accountants Ltd.

Jon shared practical insights and sparking some really useful conversations around the challenges SMEs are facing right now.

Unfortunately Grace Smith from Workforce Wellness couldn’t make it today, but we’ll definitely get her along to a future session.

These smaller meet-ups are quickly becoming one of our favourite formats at The Growth Network.

No pitches. No pressure. Just relaxed conversations, solid people, and genuine relationships being built.

Thanks again to everyone who came along today 👏

We are back for Buns & Business @ Krumb Bakery, Belfast this Thursday. â˜•ïžđŸ§

What makes these afternoons special isn’t just the coffee and pastries. It’s the people who come along.

Good people.
Business owners.
Creatives.
Friendly faces coming together for relaxed, genuine conversation.

No pressure.
No sales pitches.
No awkward networking.

Just a welcoming room where people chat, share ideas, support one another, and make new connections naturally.

This month we’ll also hear short talks from Grace Smith from Workforce Wellness/Forge Female Fitness and Jon Michael Dickinson from Proactive Chartered Accountants.

Grace will chat about wellbeing in business, while Jon will share a few useful updates around tax and digital changes affecting small businesses.

Honestly, these smaller meet-ups are becoming some of our favourite events we do through The Growth Network.

Looking forward to another top notch afternoon in Belfast this Thursday. 🚀

Another mighty evening for The Growth Network at
Finegan & Son in Newry earlier tonight.

Great to have our member Martin Patterson and special guest Emily Bond sharing their insight with the room.

A brilliant mix of members and visitors, with plenty of solid conversations and connections happening throughout the evening.

We’re genuinely thankful to everyone supporting what we’re building. There’s something very special growing within this community right now.

We’re back in Newry this Wednesday.

5.30pm at Finegan & Son.

If you’ve been to one of our events before, you’ll know it’s not your typical networking night.

No pitches.
No awkward selling.
No pressure.

Just a relaxed room of good people, good conversation, and a chance to get to know others properly.

This week, we’ll also hear briefly from two people in the room.

Martin Patterson will share a bit about the current funding landscape and what opportunities are out there for SMEs.

And Emily Bond will talk about her journey and the mindset behind taking on an incredible challenge—becoming the first woman to complete every UK Ironman race in a single year.

It’s all very informal and part of the evening.

If you’ve been thinking about coming along, this is a great one to start with.

You’ll be made feel welcome.

Two years ago, we brought The Growth Network to Belfast.

This evening at room2 hometels reminded us why.

A room full of business owners, founders and professionals who are not there to collect contacts, but to build trust, support each other and create real opportunities.

That is what The Growth Network was built for.

Belfast now complements what we started in Newry in 2022, and it has been brilliant to see the community grow in its own way.

Thank you to everyone who joined us this evening, and to every member who has helped shape the room over the past two years.

Good business is happening.

But more importantly, good people are helping each other move forward.

Here’s to the next chapter 👏
